Stakhovsky reacts to ball boy's throwback photo

The Ukrainian had a blast from the past.

Published Nov 28, 2016

Sergiy Stakhovsky had a recent blast from the past when a former ball boy tweeted a serious throwback photo.

The picture was from the now-defunct Milan Indoor tournament in 2005. Stakhovsky made it to the quarterfinals that year as a 19-year-old, falling to eventual champion Robin Soderling.

While the Ukrainian seemed to find his appearance somewhat cringe-worthy, he surely appreciated the reminder of his first-ever ATP quarterfinal appearance.

The 30-year-old had a less than stellar 2016, something he admitted openly.

The former No. 31 went 8-14 on the ATP Tour this year and ended up playing mostly on the ATP Challenger Tour. He finished the season ranked No. 109.
